A Pocket Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue – Vintage Slang & Swear Words

Step back into the bawdy backstreets of 18th-century London with A Pocket Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, a witty collection of historical slang and colorful phrases originally published in 1785. From the origins of terms like “birthday suit” to long-lost insults and cheeky expressions, this compact guide is perfect for language lovers and humor fans alike.

Features:
✔ Hundreds of vintage slang terms with modern relevance
✔ Covers money, drunkenness, romance, and more
✔ Pocket-sized for quick reference (or shocking friends on the go)

Equal parts history and humor, this book is an ideal gift for fans of wordplay, British culture, and delightfully vulgar language.
